I had a fabulous time with my family last week / weekend, but I am now paying for it. As our annual trip arrived I had not completed my proposal as I had set the goal to do . My cousin, her husband, and her daughter came up the Saturday before and I was too busy playing with her daughter and catching up with her and her husband to do much work.

The reunion was great, except for the fact that I'm an idiot!! Seems I put sunblock everywhere but on my chest. Saturday I realized that my chest had blistered like crazy. Luckily, my cousin is a nurse and told me how to treat it and not to worry too much.

All in all we had a great time laying by the pool, hanging out as a family, and doing a bar crawl. Can family reunions get any better than that?

Here is a picture of all of the girls in the family...in our cool t-shirts my cousin designed!

And because we hadn't taken our 5-year anniversary picture yet, we also did that at the reunion, in our cool t-shirts.

As always it was a fabulous time with the family. I'm already missing everyone.

Down to just two things left to accomplish on my To Do list. It's the last remaining item on the list--finish Proposal--that might be a killer for me. I hope to pack tonight as my cousin and her family went to see Niagara Falls today...and will be staying there tonight instead of with us as they have been since Saturday (hence, the need to clean the house so badly). I have fallen in love with her daughter and want to keep her after the Family Reunion.

Off to work on the Proposal; will pack when D gets home as Soxy doesn't like me being in the attic which is where my suitcases are.

Here is a picture of my cousin's daughter, having jelly toast at one of my favorite diners.

About Me

I am married to the most wonderful man I have ever met. My dog, Soxy, is one of the biggest parts of my life...rescuing her from the pound is one of the best decisions we have ever made! Unfortunately, we lost Soxy to kidney failure in April 2017. However, we have since rescued Pepper in July and we are working through the puppy energy one day at a time. I received my PhD in Rhetoric in 2013. I love my life exactly how it is, except for that missing piece. My family is my world...both the one I was born into and the one I married into.
